The On The High School Football Team

As a parent or guardian of the player, I understand that I will do my best to make the players follows all rules stated above. I will not contact coaches regarding playing time, player's position, or team strategy at any time. The only reason for me to contact the coaches would be regarding the player's health or well-being, as well as the player's academics.

Casey’s mom is not the only one with concerns. Some coaches are frustrated that their athletes are performing unsafe weight loss methods. ‘”We’re not making anorexic or bulimics out of kids. They talk about commitment to the sport and self-discipline to hold your weight. They don’t understand that,’” said Coach Steve Lattizori (Custance). Coach Cliff Ramos has around 90 kids on his team and he does not have

There are double standards with the treatment of high school football players by fans, coaches, teachers, parents and school administrators, as they tend to look away if it is a

One of the major causes of obesity to be addressed is eating excess calories from energy rich foods. Eating a variety of healthy foods is necessary for optimal growth and development, Protects against disease and provides energy to play, explore and learn. This is also accompanied by inadequate exercising or working out. This results in fats accumulating in the body. Parents should monitor their children’s feeding habits and take them for regular check-up. There are many ways that parents can help their children on a healthier path. Start early to establish healthy eating practices at home; be a role model, kids love to follow if lead by example. Plan healthier snacks that meet the nutritional needs and kids enjoy eating as well. To determine whether a child is obese or not, his or her

Society today has distorted what a healthy physique actually looks like. It tells you, if you don’t have muscles bulging from under your skin then you are out of shape. And that if you are overweight you are just ugly. Another false concept is that if you are overweight you’re lazy or not self disciplined (Bordo 2). There are so many factors that have to be accounted for when evaluating someone’s weight. To assume that someone is lazy or weak because they are overweight, is ignorant. Many people are deceived into thinking that obesity is terrible like a sin. In her article Susan Bordo gives an example of a study taken where children chose obesity to be more uncomfortable or embarrassing than dismembered hands or facial deformities when shown

High school football over the years has become a huge spectacle lets just talk about the DWF area or we can even get smaller to make a point if you made a 25 mile radius these local high school teams play at the Star (seats 12,000), Allen stadium (seats 18,000 cost 60 million), and McKinney’s new stadium (seats 12,000 costs 69.9 million). This is just high school football these young kids playing under tremendous pressure from the start. The pressure to play high school football is immense, there are so many media outlets for these kids, and they get coverage from what it seems like all the time during the season, yet this is all just considered a recreational activity I think it has become more than that now. The pressure for coaches is high as well dealing with parents, board members, keeping up with classes as a teacher, and oh you also have to win since football is a performance-based business (forewarning this will be said a lot). For example I will refer to Boobie Miles from Friday Night Lights for one final point. Boobie knew if he did not make it in football there was nothing special for him. That is why when he got hurt he still wanted to play, because he knew that’s all he had. That is a lot of pressure for a 16-18 year to handle, and if they are not up for it they crack.

Are high school sports good for kids? Many people believe that athletic sports are good, but they ignore the fatal flaws of these activities. Youth and high school sports are harmful because athletes often get too caught up in winning and get hurt frequently, physical sports also take away from other extracurricular activities.

Rodeo is a very thrilling, exciting, and dangerous sport. During rodeos, one meets many new people, travels across the United States of America, and has the glorious Friday night lights shining down on them. During high school rodeo and college rodeo athletes must meet different levels of expectations; their performance because of scholarships or money, their coaches or parent’s expectations, and academic success. Expectations for college rodeo athletes are higher than the expectations for high school rodeo athletes. First off, high school contestants do not have to perform great to keep scholarships given to them. High school rodeo athletes are not on scholarship to rodeo. The money they use to rodeo comes from the contestant and his parents. Therefore, the contestant only

Football fans and dreamers all over the United States universally favor Louisiana State University. Many young people aspire to become an LSU Tiger. Some of them aim to become a Louisiana State University football player, while others desire to become a member of the popular LSU cheerleading squad. Claire Walpole, a varsity cheerleader at Weston High School, was able to fulfill a dream that she had for an exceptionally long time. She had the chance to cheer with the Louisiana State University cheerleading squad. It was an opportunity of a lifetime. Although it only lasted one day, she will remember this experience for the rest of her life.

ll. College Athletes are inherently better off with accepting scholarships versus a salary while participating in sports.

College athletes are finally getting attention on the fact that they are not paid. I believe that whether or not it is college or pro sports they deserve a salary. These players put their heart and soul on the field and get nothing in return. In the articles “Athletes New Day” by Paul Marx and “College Athletes Should Not Be Paid” by Warren Hartenstine, the reasons for college athletes to be paid are very evident. No matter the case, if the students move on to pro sports or not after college, they should be entitled to some pay for their contributions. College athletes deserve to be compensated for their playtime in these sports, sales of products with their name on it, and even compensation for their injuries.

Branch stated "We are imposing amateurism on these students". I think this is very important because it makes it clear what is really going on in the world of collegiate athletics. Athletes are not given a choice, they are told what to do and how to do it; with no option to object. Before some rules came into play really talented athletes went straight to the professional level without going to college. Now athletes have to go to college for at least one year or so depending on the sport they play. This in turn helps bring in the millions of dollars for the schools. So why can't the athletes that make this all possible receive some form of compensation?

High school coaches must be the gatekeepers! Coaches, whether you like it or not, your words, actions, and tolerance for bad sportsmanship will be the key as to whether your athletes and your school are viewed as classy competitors, or an epicenter for sportsmanship implosion. High school athletics are the last bastion of clean, uninfected competition, and we must keep it this way. Below are some coaching recommendations on how to send the right message and keep your team classy and

My topic is similar to yours. I have always been intrigued to examine the relationship between coach and athlete. In my experience, I have found coaches who provide positive support and are constructive with their criticism are more enjoyable to play for and give the athlete a more positive experience. Coaches that come across as condescending seem to push kids away from the game. It is important that the student-athlete has a positive experience, especially student-athletes at a young age. I feel if a student-athlete has a negative experience at the interscholastic level he or she will be less likely to stick with the sport.

Raising children in today’s society is not for the faint of heart. Raising children has never been easy, but it is especially difficult in youth sports today. Coaches and parents are putting a lot of pressure on our young sons and daughters. The pressure to succeed in sports at
